It's hard to articulate the level of anger & rage I have about watching this happen. I first saw weev doxx people I love *TWENTY* years ago. I spoke to founders of multiple social networks about the risk of these people over 15 years ago. I wrote about it all a dozen+ years ago. They let it happen.

This beggars belief and thanks to every single person who has donated.
Original target: £13,100 and i thought that was too ambitious.
I get genuinely overwhelmed + tearful looking at the number, mainly because I'm not getting any of the money

Graphic featuring a testimonial from Pedro Araújo, which reads: "SCOUTED has been one of the resources used by the FC Porto scouting team in recent years. Their work challenges our approach to recruitment and inspires new scouting practices, discovering new players that might have slipped under the radar or new ways to interrogate and evaluate data. We encourage our team to keep a close eye on what is published at SCOUTED in order to raise our internal level and get to know more talent breaking through worldwide."
In November last year, FC Porto invited us to a match to show support for what we do at SCOUTED. This was an extremely proud moment for the team and a clear sign that our unique discovery and analysis of young players is highly valued in the professional industry.

This is the most sensible and true thing I've heard from Labour since they got in
I've seen this so many times today:
"Labour lost because of comms"
Nope. They're in charge. They lost because of the things they're doing. The comms are bad because the things they're choosing to do are bad.
